Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i7-7800X was a significant processor upon its introduction. It was designed for demanding workstations and enthusiast systems. This chip, based on the Skylake X architecture, was created using the then-advanced 14 nm process. Even today, it still provides a solid and reliable foundation for various applications.

Solid multi-core performance is especially noteworthy in the Intel Core i7-7800X. This capability continues to enable smooth operation in complex tasks. For many professional users, it was therefore a compelling choice. Its wide connection via PCIe 3.0 also ensures very good connectivity.

Peripherals and expansion cards benefit from this. We have found that this processor has maintained its stability over the years. An 8 MB L3 cache contributes significantly to smooth data processing. In addition, a memory bandwidth of 77 GB/s supports rapid data exchange. The Intel Core i7-7800X thus remains an interesting option.

It is aimed at users who rely on proven technology and reliable performance.
  • Solid multi-core performance
